Meditate
On
Therefore
let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the
forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all
things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Acts
13:38–39
Your Part Is To Believe
If
there’s a part for you to play in the new covenant of grace it is simply this:
to believe. So what does God want you to believe? He wants you to believe in
Jesus and His finished work, that you are completely forgiven of all your sins
and that Jesus’ blood cleanses you from all your unrighteousness and
lawlessness.
And because of Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, God wants you to believe
with all your heart that He meant every word when He said, “…I will be merciful
to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will
remember no more” (Hebrews 8:12).
In
God’s eyes today, you are made perfectly righteous by Jesus’ finished work. The
new covenant’s emphasis is to believe that you are forgiven of every sin and
that God has erased them from His memory.
If you don’t believe this, it will be
impossible for you to depend on and expect God to protect, provide for and
bless you. If you don’t believe this, it will rob you of the ability to receive
His goodness, blessings, unmerited favor and success in your life. So believe.
Only believe!
